Thank you so much for this video. I was trying to figure out how to put curtains and still keep my valance boxes and the tension rod is a perfect solution. Thanks again.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

You are so welcome! Glad it helped.

[@AcornHillHomestead]

We have an older 1998 Class C. Just removing the padded valances makes the space feel lighter. Not settled on a theme yet but I have some ideas. Glad I stumbled on your channel. Nice ideas. I like your style!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you!! I have changed mine several times sometimes it takes time to figure out what style you like the best.

[@shellcshells2902]

This has really inspired me!! Great job!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

That makes me really happy. That is my goal to show everyone you can do it!!!!

[@sunnyd3368]

Just found you. What a fantastic job and it looks great!!!!!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you. Glad your enjoying. 😁

[@itsme.rainilee]

Oh wow!!! Great update to those valances--I love how you come up with easy and cheap ways to make your RV look great! 👌

HINT: Some time ago we moved into a modular single wide home (sorta like a larger version of an RV shoebox shape). They are kinda close together in our hood, so in order to maximize lateral privacy, I took off the ugly window coverings and installed frosted window film textured with beautiful elegant palm trees/bamboo stalks etc, peel n stick from amazon, that covers (on mid level windows) from the window bottom to about 2/3 up so the top 1/3 of the window is plain window. Or you could leave a 3 inch gap at that 2/3 point to see clearly out of, and then cover the top as well for more privacy. Plenty of light coming in, then installed expresso blinds to get max privacy/no light at night. On the patio doors I put the window film from thigh height to shoulder height, that way i can see out, but no one can see in. You could leave a 3 or 6 inch clear slot at face height to see out, then cover the top portion of the glass door if u wanted. Expresso drapes at sides to close at night. Max light in, great privacy at all times. Your Project: The drapes are nice, but you have to wash them, iron them, etc. Window film is a great privacy very cheap item, look beautiful all the time with no maintenance other than perhaps an occasional damp cloth swipe. The valances look snappy, I just wd have covered them in vinyl peel n stick instead, that way it only requires a damp cloth swipe to clean. I hate dealing with fabric unless i get to wear it, ha ha! lazy thing that i am...

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

That’s really cool. We don’t full time so we hardly have to wash them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

after u pulled them out of the washer looking kinda shredded I was taken aback! I didnt know bleach wd do such damage to drapes!! I highlight my own long hair with bleach so I didnt make the correlation. oh my! @@BillandKelleyAdventures

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

@@Lauren-vd4qe yes. Since then I’ve replaced. Cause I learned that too. Had no idea it would either.

[@Tawnieandwayne]

Really cool idea! I love the video. Hope you have a great weekend 🤗

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you and you too.

[@gwenmadeline54]

Thank you so much! I can do this!!! Just so you don’t try another time you can’t put bleach on fabric. It will eat it. I cringed when I saw you pour bleach on the fabric. Even when adding bleach to water and then putting fabric in, so excited . the bleach will deteriorate the fabric. I am excited to do this. I have lots of quilting cotton. I think I might add an accent fabric in that piece you tore off.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

That is a great Idea to add the accent fabric. Yes I think I figured that out about the bleach the other ones I ordered did the same thing haha I am lucky I didn't loose them all.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

i guess it wd depend on how much bleach u added?

[@NoBSEateries]

Oh my goodness the curtain holes 😂 the finished project looks great! -S

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you. FYI the 2nd pair I ordered I did the same thing too. Used a little to much bleach haha.

[@Thethriftpicker]

Its a much brighter look! I love it! Good job!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you I love how it looks now too.

[@TexasRoadrunners]

Great improvement. Thanks for sharing.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it

[@karenmcclain7646]

Hi! Love what you did. Huge ? For you…. What rod did you use for the back window? I’m having a difficult time locating a slender 78” rod! Help!!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you I ordered off of Amazon.

[@itsabouttimenowdiana680]

Love this!!! Going to go try ours now!!! Great work!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

It was super easy. Please send pictures.

[@snoopyfan20]

When you put everything back together, did all the original screws work? Did you have to have to use any new screws, and if so, what size? Thank you!!!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I used the original screws they worked.

[@kelleysmith9157]

They turned out wonderfully. Can you tell me how you hung your plant in the big back window. I have a plant I want to hang but I don't know how. Thanks

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you. I ended up getting a small cup hook and screwing it in. I take down on travel days.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

We have the same name and it’s spelled the same 😊

[@katbot2190]

I want to do that to our Rezerve. I'm not sure about the color of the material you used to wrap the valance. Is it gray?

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Yes, it was gray I ended up hating it and taking them down. It's great to redo if you use the right color lol

[@cindyolsen5008]

Love this! Where did you get the order the tarps from?

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Thank you. I got them from Amazon. amzn.to/3DsxfXe

[@cindyolsen5008]

Thank you! just ordered them hope mine turn out as well as yours.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

@@cindyolsen5008 I have used them in my house too haha

[@cindyolsen5008]

Did you by chance do a video on the curtains?

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Unfortunately I didn’t that was before I did a lot of KZbin. I did do a video on changing them to Turkish towels and I just took down the valances and did curtain rods. Just up loaded that one a few weeks ago.

[@BackroadsArtStudio]

Awesome!! I need to do the same but the blinds are attached inside (and they are power blinds) and our valences come down the side. A bit intimidated by the process.

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

Yes I believe those would be a lot harder. Glad you liked the video

[@BearfootAdventures]

Can you put a link to your painting tarp. Sizes please

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

amzn.to/2SMkmSQ Here you go

[@janiceperez292]

How much fabric did it take you to do your window toppers?

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

3 yards. This would depend on fabric and if there is a pattern you need to match up.

[@janiceperez292]

@@BillandKelleyAdventures Thank you very much. I love your channel I've had so much fun remodeling our rv.

I agree April M...and you don't pour it over dry fabric....
